Basel Committee on Banking Supervision discusses key initiatives

The Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (BCBS) had met to discuss a range of initiatives, following the GHOS meeting which took place earlier this month. The discussions focused on:

• Recent market developments and the financial stability outlook for the global banking system.
• Progress on efforts to strengthen supervisory effectiveness following the 2023 banking turmoil. An update on the outcome of this work will be published by the end of the year.
• Comments received to the BCBS consultation on third-part risk management in the banking sector. The BCBS has aimed to finalise principles for third-party risk management by the end of 2025.
• The use of technological innovation to make Pillar 3 disclosures more accessible in machine-readable formats. The BCBS plans to consult on this proposal by the end of the year.
• Prioritising the analysis of financial risks from extreme weather events. The BCBS is also mandated to publish the voluntary climate-related financial risk disclosure framework, which will be released in June.
